binding layer 130 and the firstcomposite film layer 21 and the secondcomposite film layer 81 in the light-transmittingregions 1101 are light-transmissive. - In an alternative embodiment of the present disclosure, the

FIG. 3 , when the touch layer is touched, a fingerprint is formed on the touch layer. Light L1 emitted by the light-emittingunits 40 is reflected by the fingerprint. A part of reflected light L2 can sequentially enter the firstcomposite film layer 21 corresponding to the light-transmittingregions 1101, thebinding layer 130, and thesecond encapsulation layer 90 corresponding to the light-transmittingregions 1101 through the light-transmittingholes 32, and then irradiates thephotoelectric sensing elements 1201. By setting the diameter of the light-transmittinghole 32 and the thickness of thebinding layer 130, the incident angle θ of the light reflected by the fingerprint and a range m of the reflected light of the fingerprint can be controlled. - The light incident angle θ=arctan(d/2H), d is the diameter of the light-transmitting
hole 32, and H is the distance from an end of the light-transmittinghole 32 away from thesecond panel 120 to thephotoelectric sensing element 1201. A value of H ranges from 90 μm to 150 μm. A value of d ranges from 25 μm to 60 μm. Correspondingly, a value of the incident angle θ ranges from 4.764° to 18.434°. Thebinding layer 130 causes an increase of the distance from the light-transmittinghole 32 to thephotoelectric sensing element 1201, that is, the value of H is increased. From the formula of the light incident angle, it is known that the light incident angle θ and H are inversely proportional. When H increases, the light incident angle becomes smaller. Therefore, thedisplay panel 100 of the present disclosure can reduce or eliminate the incident stray light in an ambient environment and make the reflected light incident on the photosensitive layer at an angle as small as possible to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , the present disclosure also provides anotherdisplay panel 200. A structure of thedisplay panel 200 and that of thedisplay panel 100 are basically the same. A difference is that thedisplay panel 200 further includes a plurality oflenses 140. The plurality oflenses 140 are arranged in an array, are formed on thefirst encapsulation layer 50, and are covered by theouter film layer 60. One of thelenses 140 is opposite to one of the light-transmittingholes 32. - In this embodiment, the plurality of
lenses 140 are micro lenses. - The
lens 140 opposite to one of the light-transmittingholes 32 can condense the light reflected from the fingerprint and located above thephotoelectric sensing element 1201 to thephotoelectric sensing element 1201, thereby increasing the amount of light entering. Since the light entering thephotoelectric sensing elements 1201 is sufficient, an aperture of thefirst panel 110 can be reduced (that is, a number of light-transmitting holes can be reduced), and the performance of thedisplay panel 200 can be improved. - Referring to
FIG. 5 , the present disclosure also provides anotherdisplay panel 300. A structure of thedisplay panel 300 and that of thedisplay panel 100 are basically the same. A difference is that thedisplay panel 300 does not include the third driving transistors in thedisplay panel 100. A driving circuit for driving the light-emitting units of thefirst panel 110 to emit light is electrically connected to the first driving transistors and is disposed in a bezel area (not shown) of thefirst panel 110 of thedisplay panel 300. - The present disclosure provides the display panel and the electronic device. The first panel including the light-emitting units is bound to the second panel including the photoelectric sensing elements by the binding layer. The photoelectric sensing elements are opposite to the light-transmitting holes on the pixel definition layer of the first panel. The binding layer causes an increase of the distance from the light-transmitting hole to the photoelectric sensing element, that is, the value of H is increased, thereby forming an approximately collimated optical path between the light-transmitting hole and the photoelectric sensing element. According to the light incident angle θ=arctan(d/2H), the light incident angle is inversely proportional to H, where d is the diameter of the light-transmitting hole, and H is the distance from the light-transmitting hole to the photoelectric sensing element. When H increases, the light incident angle becomes smaller. Therefore, the display panel and the electronic device of the present disclosure can reduce or eliminate an incident stray light from an ambient environment and make the reflected light incident on the photosensitive layer at an angle as small as possible, thereby improving a signal-to-noise ratio. In addition, the third driving transistors are disposed in the second panel to transmit the driving signals to the first driving transistors, thereby driving the light-emitting units of the first panel to emit light without occupying an area of the bezel region. The area of peripheral circuits can be effectively reduced, so that a narrow bezel can be realized.
- In addition, the thickness of the binding layer can also be adjusted to control the value of the incident angle, so that the signal-to-noise ratio of the display panel can be more flexibly improved according to actual needs.
- In addition, a plurality of micro-lenses are coupled to a side of the first panel away from the second panel, which can condense the light reflected from the fingerprint and located above the photoelectric sensing elements to the photoelectric sensing elements, thereby increasing the amount of light entering. The photoelectric sensing elements have sufficient light, so that the aperture of the first panel can be reduced (that is, the number of light-transmitting holes can be reduced), and the performance of the display panel can be improved.
- In addition, the first panel including the light-emitting units and the second panel including the photoelectric sensing elements are bound together through the binding layer, which can also reduce process difficulty and improve yield. In particular, for the production of the photoelectric sensing elements, the process is not limited to a solution method or a small molecule evaporation method. Moreover, in comparison with forming the photoelectric sensing elements and the first display panel (e.g., the OLED device) through one process, the photoelectric sensing elements and the first display panel (e.g., the OLED device) are separately formed and then spliced, the process difficulty can be reduced, and the yield can be improved.
